The influence of Buddhism is very visible in the everyday life of the Bhutanese people. The country boasts of thousands of monasteries and the landscape is dotted with stupas, prayer wheels, prayer flags and many other insignias celebrating the Buddhist religion. The preservation of culture has always been accorded the highest of priorities and it was outlined as one of the four main pillars of the country’s unique development philosophy of Gross National Happiness. 2 © Ricardo Viana © Ricardo 3 is a religious festival that begins on the 10th day of the Tshechu Bhutanese calendar.

  • CIRCUIT TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PLAN For
    CIRCUIT TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PLAN for TRASHIGANG, PEMA GATSHEL, SAMDRUP JONGKHAR (TPS CIRCUIT) Prepared and Submitted by: Pelden Dorji Tourism Consultant Sustainable Bhutan Solutions Thimphu, May, 2013. ! TCB,%Circuit%Tourism%Plan%for%the%TPS%Circuit% % Page%1% ! 1 Executive Summary The Circuit Tourism Development Plan for the Trashigang, Pema Gatshel, and Samdrup Jongkhar circuit (hereafter referred to as TPS circuit) is developed by the Tourism Council of Bhutan in consultation with the respective Dzongkhags and other stakeholders, both public and private. This is an initiative towards decentralizing tourism planning and management at the circuit level, as espoused in the National Tourism Policy, and the Tourism Strategy 2013-2018. The decentralization process is to foster community participation and resource management at the destination level so that tourism can be developed and managed in a sustainable manner. Respective tourism plans for each of these 3 Dzongkhags is deemed redundant given the limited attractions, and the small proportion of visitors in these Dzonkhags. Therefore, in order to enhance the marketability and the brand of the destination, the attractions in the 3 Dzongkhags have been combined to form a circuit. Tourism planning and management will be at the circuit level and will be governed by the Circuit Tourism Committee (CTC), an executive body comprising of public and private member representatives from the 3 Dzongkhags. The Tourism Council of Bhutan will guide the CTC, in implementing the Circuit Tourism Development Plan (CTDP). Although eastern Bhutan receives a small proportion of annual tourism arrivals, a destination appraisal conducted on the TPS circuit confirms its potential to become a competitive destination and attract visitors in the years to come.

The Dzongkhag has eight Gewogs, namely Gangzur, Jaray, Khoma, Kurtoe, Menbi, Metsho, Minjay and Tsenkhar with a total of 2,506 households. Apart from the Dzongkhag highway, the Dzongkhag lacks internal motor roads and most villages still remain remote and inaccessible. Majority of the households have no access to electricity. Difficult terrain and scattered settlements make delivery of services costly and challenging. Limited agriculture land and other farm infrastructure pose considerable problem in enhancing farm production and productivity. Despite favorable climatic conditions, farming remains largely subsistence. Figure 15.1 Lhuentse Dzongkhag 15.1 Basic Infrastructure a.
